Maintaining your stove for optimal performance
The key to enjoying your wood-burning stove safely and efficiently is using dry, seasoned wood. This significantly reduces creosote buildup and other emissions as well as saving you money.
However, to enjoy the full benefits of your 5kW stove, regular maintenance is also essential. This includes cleaning the glass, removing ash, and having your chimney swept annually. For more complex tasks or anything you feel unsure of, consult a qualified stove engineer.
